There is a sea of orange signs (NDP) in many Edmonton ridings, relatively few blue (Con) or blue/green (Wild Rose) ones.

The polls were disastrously wrong in the last election so Albertans aren't putting a great deal of trust in them this time but there is certainly something going on here, the Cons are in trouble for sure but, like last time, they could still win.
